What is Rivanol Powder?
The product is yellow crystalline solid form of ethacridine lactate, an acridine derivative having broad range antibacterial activity. Unlike liquid antiseptic formulations, this pharmaceutical grade powder eliminates major manufacturing difficulties such as transportation costs, storage stability and formulation flexibility.
The chemical is very soluble in water and can be reconstituted into topical solutions that can be used in wound care, surgical disinfection and antimicrobial preservation. It is moderate and low-irritating and suited for use on sensitive tissues which might be damaged or irritated by stronger disinfectants.
In an effort to fulfil the strict standards of the pharmaceutical industry, our manufacturing process combines modern crystallisation and purification technologies to provide purity of ≥99.0% while removing chloride (≤0.025%), sulphate (≤0.5%) and heavy metals (≤0.005%).

Core Advantages of Our Rivanol Powder
Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activity
The acridine structure gives good antibacterial action against gram-positive bacteria, some gram-negative strains and harmful germs. This makes it useful for wound disinfection, surgical preparation and preservation applications, where dependable control of microorganisms is important.
Low-Irritant & Mild
Our product is medicinal yet does not create skin irritation as seen with powerful disinfectants that damage tissue or induce allergic reactions. This feature is of particular importance for repeated use applications and in delicate wound situations.
Superior Water Solubility
The powder is soluble in aqueous solutions quickly which makes it easy for pharmaceutical makers to formulate. You can just generate conventional concentrations for topical use, irrigation solutions or preservation systems without sophisticated solubilisation procedures.
Stable Product Performance
We control our manufacturing environment to achieve constant crystal structure and chemical stability. Storing it in a cold, dry place away from light and heat will ensure the powder will maintain its specifications for 24 months, aiding your inventory management and production planning.
Broad Application Range
Rivanol Powder is also used for numerous industrial purposes other than standard wound care, such as antimicrobial preservation in cosmetics, cleaning protocols in medical facilities, and specialised applications in veterinary medicine and laboratory research.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Our 60,000㎡ production facility strictly complies with GMP standards and has six multipurpose production lines for active pharmaceutical ingredients. Each batch is rigorously tested utilising modern HPLC, spectroscopic and microbiological techniques to confirm purity, impurity profiles and antimicrobial activity.

Complete files of Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and Method of Analysis (MOA) are maintained for each production batch. With full traceability, you may submit to regulators and do quality audits for multiple markets.
Our competent QC team conducts stability testing according to ICH requirements to ensure the powder meet the specification all through its shelf life. Additional compliance requirements can be supplied upon request for third party testing verification.

Application Scenarios and Formulation Support
The substance is normally processed into aqueous solutions for external disinfection at concentrations of 0.05% to 0.2%. The powder is compatible with wound irrigation solutions, surgical scrub formulations and topical antiseptic preparations.
For preservation, smaller concentrations (0.01%-0.05%) offer adequate antimicrobial protection in cosmetic formulations, ocular solutions and pharmaceutical preparations needing sterility maintenance. It has a neutral pH range of 5.5-7.0 which allows it to be compatible with most formulation systems without substantial pH adjustment.
Our R&D team provides scientific consulting on formulation development to help you optimise the concentration, delivery mechanism and stability factors for your specific application needs.
Supply Chain and Delivery
We have a constant stock in store for your production schedules with 3-5 day delivery on regular orders. Bulk or bespoke specs require 10-12 days lead time, plus additional time for quality assurance and paperwork preparation.
We have a global logistics network to accommodate varied delivery terms like EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP, DDP according to your shipping needs. Standard packaging is 25 kg fibre drums, double layer food-grade polyethylene bag liners to protect from moisture and contamination during shipment.
We accept 100% T/T, Alibaba trade assurance order and regional payment methods (Wechat/Alipay) to meet varied business habits. 98% on-time delivery means you can depend on us to provide for your production operations.
Packaging and Storage
Each batch is packaged in 25 kg fibre drums, lined with double layer food grade polyethylene bags to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. The crystalline powder is hygroscopic and needs cautious handling to avoid caking.
Store containers in a cool, dry warehouse, away from intense light and sources of heat. Re-seal containers as soon as possible and limit air exposure after opening. The product keeps its specs for 24 months after manufacturing date when stored under correct circumstances.
FAQ
Q: What is the usual concentration in which you use wound disinfectant solutions?
A: For most medicinal purposes, aqueous 0.1% solutions are used, made by dissolving 1 g of substance in 1 litre of sterile water. Higher concentrations (0.2%) may be utilised for surgical preparation while lower concentrations (0.05%) are suitable for repeated-use wound irrigation.
Q: Compared with other antiseptics, Ethacridine lactate?
A: Ethacridine lactate has a mild antibacterial effect. It is suitable for sensitive wounds. Unlike iodine-based disinfectants, it does not discolour the tissue; unlike alcohol solutions, it does not irritate. Better tissue compatibility than chlorhexidine in several applications. Spectrum and potency are different.
Q: How should the storage conditions be to prevent degradation?
A: Keep in the original packing kept in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat sources. Store at 15-25°C. Protect from moisture. Store in a dry place. Store below 60% Relative Humidity. Properly stored, the powder keeps full efficacy for a period of 24 months.
Q: Can this product be used in cosmetic formulations?
A: Yes, at appropriate concentrations (typically 0.01%-0.03%) it functions as a preservative system component in water-based cosmetics. However, you should verify regulatory approval for cosmetic use in your target markets, as regulations vary by jurisdiction.
Q: Do you provide samples for formulation testing?
A: We offer sample quantities (typically 100-500g) with full documentation for qualification testing. Contact our technical team to discuss your application requirements and we'll provide appropriate samples along with technical support for your evaluation process.
